Lyrics:
She doesn’t think about you
Half as much as you think about…
She doesn’t think about you at all
You told me not to pine for you
But I feel so evergreen
Ever green with envy, put the pen ink to paper and savor it
Labor til these rhymes stave the cravings and I save her
Save the time we spent together like spinning disc memory
Preserve her and our moments together in ink
Til the moments flow back when I close my eyes to blink
What comes around goes around and around again
Like I’m roundin’ the bend of a mountain road where I have been
Many times before; look over your left shoulder
See a view you’ve misconstrued so many times before
Orthopedic
I can feel it in my bones. A storm’s comin’; I can hear it blowin’ down my window
Crash
Hear glass breakin’, soul shakin’
Shakin’ the knees that the soul don’t have no need for
Ghost from the past floats over the glass
Break me in two as easily as Moses with a staff
Most would just laugh
Tell me that I’m insane
But none of these can see even a crease inside this brain
They don’t know what this means to me
Living piece of my history
As beautiful and distant as the sky above the pine trees
I’m doin’ long division on stolen sheep
This rest feels undeserved as you’re not next to me
You’re just so cold as you walk away
As cold as your eyes as they don’t turn to meet my gaze
As cold as your hands on mine, cuz mine are warm
As cold as your hands are when they close the door
Familiar; you’ve closed this one before
Not that I’m keepin’ score; you keepin’ score?
I’ve been through this before; it left quite an impression
A lesson learned, left with regrets, but wrestlin’ with depression turned
Me into an enemy, left me here with steady feet
As distinct as the horizon when the sun sets at sea
Questioning everything; crashing into love and fallin’ deep
Left another with denial, anger, and bargaining
I’d lost that aggression when you came back to twist my levers
I think you and I are destined to do this forever
This is what happens when an unstoppable force
Meets an immovable object; waves stop at the shore
This love is madness, as you know is like gravity
All it takes is a little push, then these thoughts start stabbin’ me
Masterpiece, whether under moon or sun
And I kept on pressin’ because you’re just too much fun
Cycled through, my mind returned to you and your name
The wheel spins, but the spokes stay in the same place
You’ve got a life you want to live
You’ve given all you had to give
Never wanted to fall for you again
But then, I never wanted to be just friends
Life continues on, and we along with it
A song given to capture the wrong image
A static picture of the past to obsess and trim it
Cut and paste til it resembles what we want with it
I don’t know what you think or thought or dreamed or read
My views of you are tumors doomed to consume my head
But as much as you and I have both changed
Through the decade, you and I have both remained
Exactly the same
